Note:
Entering your vehicle when the
liftgate is closing can cause your vehicle to
bounce and activate obstacle detection. To
prevent this, let the power liftgate close
completely before you enter your vehicle.
Before driving off, check the instrument
cluster for a liftgate or door ajar message or
warning indicator. Failure to do this could
result in unintentionally leaving the liftgate
open when driving.
When Opening
The system stops when it detects an
obstacle and two short tones sound.
Remove the obstacle to operate the
liftgate.
Using the Hands-Free Liftgate (If
Equipped)
Make sure you have a passive key within
3 ft (1 m)
of the liftgate.
1. Stand behind your vehicle, and face the
liftgate.
2. Move your foot, in a single-kick motion,
without pausing, under and away from
the rear bumper detection area.
3. The liftgate power opens or closes.
Vehicles Without a Trailer Hitch The detection area is in the center of the
rear bumper. Vehicles With a Trailer Hitch
The detection area is on the left-hand side
and right-hand side of the hitch, between
the exhaust and the hitch.
Avoid the following actions when using
hands-free opening:
•
Making physical contact with the
bumper.
• Holding your foot under the bumper.
• Sweeping your foot from side to side,
or kicking at an odd angle.
Note: Allow the power system to open the
liftgate. Manually pushing or pulling the
liftgate may activate the system ’s obstacle
detection and stop the power operation or
reverse its direction, replicate a strut failure,
or damage mechanical components.
Note: Splashing water may cause the
hands-free liftgate to open. Keep the
passive key away from the rear bumper
detection area when you wash your vehicle.
